remove gratuitous aligned attribute from __ptrace_syscall_info

this change was discussed on the mailing list thread for the linux
uapi v5.3 patches, and submitted as a v2 patch, but overlooked when I
applied the patches much later.

revert commit f291c09ec90e2514c954020e9b9bdb30e2adfc7f and apply the
v2 as submitted; the net change is just padding.

notes by Szabolcs Nagy follow:

compared to the linux uapi (and glibc) a padding is used instead of
aligned attribute for keeping the layout the same across targets, this
means the alignment of the struct may be different on some targets
(e.g. m68k where uint64_t is 2 byte aligned) but that should not affect
syscalls and this way the abi does not depend on nonstandard extensions.
